About
Formerly known as Poplar Creek Country Club, the club was transformed into the Bridges of Poplar Creek Country Club in 2011. Besides just the name change, the design itself was dramatically reinvented. Fifteen holes were completely redesigned but the golf course's most memorable holes were left untouched. Bunkers and fairways were reconfigured and fescue was planted to provide more depth and definition. To make the course even more challenging, new lakes were also added. The golf course is definitely a shot maker's layout that rewards accuracy and thoughtful strategizing. The final three holes are considered by many locals to be the toughest finishing trio in all of Illinois. It begins with an uphill par 4, followed by the longest par-3 and par-4 holes respectively. The Bridges of Poplar Creek C.C. offers a round that will challenge even the most avid golfers.

Pretty nice course with some narrow fairways
Course was maintained well
Kinda slow pace
Course in great conditions
Short but, fun and challenging course, very well kept, greens in great conditions and very friendly staff!
Rough was uncut, green fast
The rough needed to be cut down, both around the fairways and greens. The greens were very fast and the rough around the greens being uncut made for unfair conditions for an average golfer !!
Always love this course
I have played here many times over the years and I intend to keep going back.
Always a great place to play
Always a great place to play!
Great conditions and staff.
Pace of Play
There needed to be a ranger pushing people along… There was a twosome, husband/wife, that were slow as molasses… He was hitting from the tips and he needed to be up 1 or 2 tees… Now having a ranger could have helped with that issue…
Good to be back at Poplar.
It had been a few years since I had played Poplar Creek. I was very impressed with the course conditions and friendliness of the staff. Long par-3’s, which is good to see. I would definitely recommend the course.
